Angler’s encounter with giant Mola mola is a joyride he’ll never forget

Mola molas are fun to watch, mostly because of their docile nature, their incredible size (length to 11 feet, weight to 5,000 pounds), and the bizarre circular shape of their bodies.

But as far as we know, only one person has jumped overboard to mount and ride one.

That cowboy—make that circus clown; this is not smart or responsible–—is an angler named Cliff, who apparently was responding to a $20 bet. (The first video is a shortened version, showing a closeup of the action. The full-length version, which reveals how long Cliff stayed on the sunfish, is posted below.)
